Racing wheels can be lighter because tracks aren't full of potholes, frostheaves and expansion joints.

Drive a 10 pound racing wheel on these roads and see how long it lasts.

"A word on BBS Race wheels for street use
I see many inquiries and threads on these wheels, and I think it's fair to warn people that don't know that these wheels were not designed for street use and BBS does not recommend them to be used off of a track. The barrel sections are roll formed and they are considerably thinner on these wheels than they would be on one of their road wheels. It saves weight, but it makes the wheel much more likely to be damaged by potholes, etc."

so bc a specific BBS "race" wheel isn't meant for street use all light weight wheels don't pass your strict testing?
